Judge Albion ". Tourgee's new book
Buttons Inn"-is meeting with generous
reception from the critics. and we have no
doubt that il will meet with large sale.
The New York Tribune says that. "In
picturesqueness. brilliancy and variety Of
color" it .'excels all the authors previous
novels" The Worcester Spy particularly
hits the nail on the head when it calls ii "a
peculiarly American novel" That is what
il is. certainly. The Boston Advertiser. q
very high literary authority. pronounces it
far in advance. in point Of style" Of "A
Fools Errand." The Boston Common
reGlh says: The story is written in
Judge Tourgee's usual terse and vigorous
style" The Chicago Inter Ocean says:
The book Il so evenly balanced that it
would be hard to tell whether Mormonism
was introduced to complete the harmony OF
the characters, or the characters delineated
in order to show the genesis OF Mormon
ism" And the Literary World. Of New
York. says: Buttons Inn is q strong.
vigorous. boldly-wrtten novel. and one
that is sure TO attract the interest OF many
readers" The purpose of the book is
wholesome and its appearance. timely.
The titles of Judge Tourgee's lectures for
the current season are Give Us Rest. y
The Christian Citizen" The Law and the
Learner" Yours and Mine, "'Herosm rs
an Investment" and shop Talks" all of
which are good. Lecture committees

PERNIcIoUs LITERATURE-The best
society for the suppression of pernicious lit
erature is the family. The best legislation
that can be passed for the prevention of the
sale of vile literature can be passed by ia
ther and mother in joint convention assem-
bled Daily teaching to love and study
good and useful things will bring boys and
girls to detest the opposite. These are the
only means by which the sale of pernicious
literature can be permanently and effect
ually suppressed. The passage of laws of
the State and the watchfulness of the soci-
cites for the suppression of pernicious lit
erature may do some good for the youth who
have no parents to teach them, but to pro-
vide sound early training for them would
do far more.

THE LAST PASSOVER.
Written for the Democratic Advocate
BY j. W. sLAGENHAuP.

The evening approaches, and shadows are falling
On city and temple. on valley and grove,
And Jesus his chosen disciples is calling,
The trusted companions who share in his love-
And portents of something momentous appalling,
Pass over their spirits like shadows that move.
To eat of the passover they had assembled,
The last they partook with the One they adore;
Their hearts were subdued and their feelings were
humbled
BY strange apprehensions they felt not before;
One man was among them whose hand greatly
trembled
What means the dark shade DER his eountenanee
creeping?
And the glare in his eye like wild tigers leer?
There avarice, peridy, envy are keeping
A tumult of passion commingled with fear;
He eallous remains while eleven are weeping,
As in bright cluster one flower is sere.
There one loved disciple was tenderly leaning
On him in whose presence he loved to abide;
Unspokcn his feelings, their deep, earnest meaning
Were told by expressions his eye could not hide,
While stronger devotion and confidence gaining,
And deeper affection for him at his side.
How sad, yet compassionate, gentle and loving
The face of the Saviour among them appears;
And those who behold him devotion is moving,
Save one who no longer his Master reveres;
And the word ofthe prophet all tokens are proving
That the throne of his kingdom Messiah now
rears.
He shared with the others the bread that was
broken,
And he gave tn EN- the cup of the service divine;
And these shall hereafter remain as token
The emblems of Christ ARE the bread ana the
wine;
The supper is ended, the blessing is spoken,
And the gems of the night on Gethsamane Shine
The city is silent-the priest is attending
To rites of the law where the altar fire CLOVIS;
soon-soon when at hand are events then impend-
ing
The sleepers awake from the calm of repose;
Ere the star Of the morn in the sky ascending
The night shall grow wild as tempest that
blows.

The Paris and Vienna exhibitions are
well within the recollection of our own
time and call for no special reference. I'm
portant commercial result followed the Aus
TRAN exhibition of 1873 and the French
exhibition of 1878. Australian and New
Zealand exhibitions have done their part
in the cause of commercial progress, and
the exhibition of the Algerian products
opened at Algiers on November 10, 1875,
inaugurated exhibitions on the African
continent. The japanese empire has given
to Asia its first industrial bazaar in the

unnecessary to refer to the Crystal Palace
Exhibition in New York in 1853, and the

Resting After Meals.

A friend of the writer's, who has suffer-
ed from dyspepsia during almost her entire
life, considers the suggestion in the follow
ing extracts from an article in recent is
sue of The Journal Of Health to be the
most in accord with her own experience of
anything on the subject lately published:
Hurried eating of meals, followed imme
diately by some employment that occupies
the whole attention and takes up all, or near
ly all, of the physical energies, is sure to
result in dyspepsia of one form or another.
Sometimes it shows itself in excessive irri-
liability, sure indication that nerve force
has been exhausted; the double drought in
order to digest the food and carry on the
business is more than nature could stand
without being thrown out of balance. In
another case, the person is exceedingly dull
as soon as he has few minutes of leisure.
The mind seems dead blank, and can only
move in its accustomed channels, and then
only when compelled. This, also, is an indi-
cation of nervous exhaustion. Others will
have decided pains in the stomach, or sense
of weight, as if a heavy burden was inside.
Others, again, will be able to eat nothing
that will agree with them; everything that
is put inside the stomach is made the sub
ject of violent protest on the part of
that organ, and the person suffers untold
agonies in consequence. Others suffer from
constant hunger. They may eat all they
can, and feel hungry still If they feel
satisfied for little time, the least unusual
exertion brings on the hungry feeling and
they can do no more until something is eaten.
1t is almost needless to say that this condi-
ton is not hunger, but inflammation of the
stomach. Scarcely any two persons are
affected exactly the same way, the disordered
condition manifesting itself according to
temperament and occupation, employments
that call for mental work, and those whose
scene of action lies indoors, affecting persons
more seriously than those which are merely
mechanical and do not engage the mind.
All, or nearly all, of the difficulties of
digestion might have never been known by
thesuferers had they left their business be-
hind them, and rested short time after
eating, instead of rushing off to work imme-
diately after hastily swallowing their food,
Nature does not do two things at time
and do both well, as rule. All know that
when force is divided It'll weakened. IF
the meal were eaten slowly, without pre-
occupation of the mind, the stomach allowed
at least half an hours chance to get its work
well undertaken before the nervous force is
turned in another direction, patients suffer
ing from dyspepsia would be few.
One physician said once: at does not
much matter what We eat but how we eat
it." While this is only partly true, it GER
tainly is true that the most healthful food
hurriedly eaten, and Immediately followed
by work which engages the entire available
physical and mental forces, is much worse
than meal of poor food eaten leisurely and
followed by an interval of rest.

a party on her S0th birthday. There was
a most elaboratesupper, every single article,
from bread to cheese and butter to pound
cake, having been made with her own hands.
When asked how she kept herself so Wig

sometimes two, every day ofmy life; by new
er taking my Washing ironing and baking
to bed with me, and by oiling all the various
wheels of busy life with an implicit faith
that there is brain and heart to this
great universe, and that could trust them
both"
